Holistic Wellness
Take a HolisticApproach to Skin Health
* For all skin types -
Protect your face from the
sun. Use a sunscreen that
protects against both UVA
and UVB light, and wear a
wide-brimmed hat.
* For sun damage and
acne scars -Lasers can
resurface facial skin by
stripping away the
outermost layers. Some
"non-ablative"lasers also
stimulate collagen
formation, which helps
smooth wrinkles.

type, healthy eating is an

Mental Health
Troops still wary of admitting mental health problems
In a confidential survey of troops in Afghanistan last year, nearly half of those in the Army
who reported psychological issues said they would be seen as weak if they sought help.
Sixty percent of Marines with mental health problems responded the same way, according
to the latest in a series of Army war-zone field studies. These sentiments come despite
years of Pentagon programs aimed at combating stigma - urging troops to seek help,
increasing access to behavioral health specialists and assuring service members that their
careers will not suffer.
"Despite efforts to reduce stigma ... there still exists latent tendencies to view seeking
behavioral health care as weakness," Army spokesman George Wright said, responding to
the report. "Leaders at all levels must continue to resist this culture by associating help-
seeking behavior with strength-seeking behavior and by embracing the benefits of
increased individual resilience."
